Born in Madrid, Fernández Romo started his career working as a football teacher at EF Aluche in 1997.

In 2005, after working as a scout at UD Vecindario, Fernández Romo was named manager of Tercera División side CD Las Rozas. He later returned to youth sides, notably managing the Juvenil sides of Pontevedra CF (being also an assistant of the reserves for a brief period) and RC Celta de Vigo before being appointed in charge of SD Noja in 2010.
In 2011, Fernández Romo joined Óscar Cano's staff at UD Melilla as his assistant. He left the side after Cano's departure in June 2012, being later named manager of Villalonga FC; in December 2012, he opted to leave the latter side to rejoin Cano's staff at Real Betis B, and was also with the manager at CD Alcoyano.
Fernández Romo returned to managerial duties in July 2015, at the helm of Segunda División B side CD Olímpic de Xàtiva. Sacked on 7 February 2016, he became the technical secretary of Real Murcia on 8 June.
On 26 January 2017, Fernández Romo was presented as manager of CE Sabadell FC also in the third division. He left in June, and joined FC Jumilla in July as a sporting director. He became the latter's manager in April 2018, and managed to avoid relegation by winning four of the five remaining matches of the season.
